I have watched with some bemusement the overall trend of the articles that are coming out on Linux in the enterprise, and not just the ones from ELF.

Posted: ( Tue 17th Dec 2002 07:42:27[AM] UTC )
When you look at some of the installation documents for any of popular Linux distributions, you will see only few mentions of the term RAID, typically with passages such as \"you will need RAID only if you are a very professional systems administrator and you already know what are you doing.\" Even in the latest documentation of the latest Linux releases, this is likely the only thing you will see about RAID. This is one big reason why I think we should move past this barrier and demonstrate that RAID can be used by \"normal\" people.

Linux : Articles : The future belongs to GNOME; inertia, to KDE
Posted: ( Thu 27th Jun 2002 11:19:06[AM] UTC )
Once things are done a certain way, headed in a certain direction, it\'s really tough to alter them. That\'s what keeps Windows on millions of machines whose owners hate that operating system. And it\'s what keeps KDE on my desktop, at least for the moment.

If you watch Linux-related news, then for the last few weeks it\'s been hard to do anything without running into pronouncements about UnitedLinux. UnitedLinux is certainly a curious beast, a kind of Tuxed-out Cerberus with four heads, where more might sprout out at any moment.
